Have you seen this list around the web? The one telling of 100 uses for Avon Skin So Soft? Well, here it is, in case you missed it. And, I’ve even tried a few of these uses for Skin So Soft out for you!

*I must tell you first that the list says 100 uses for SSS, but I cut out some of the ones that were duplicates.

81 Uses for Skin So Soft

Personal Use:

It’s a bath oil and after shower moisturizer.

It can be used to remove makeup.

Great tanning oil (no sunscreen).

Hot oil treatment to soften cuticles.

Great massage oil for tired muscles.

Cleans off tape marks left from bandages on skin.

Cleans ink off the skin.

Cleans oil and grease off of skin.

Use to remove paint from the hands. (Instead of turpentine).

It soothes light sunburn.

Rub hands with it before washing, it helps get them cleaner.

Rub on itchy, dry, cracked skin…. helps heal skin in 2-3 days.

Put 1-2 caps full in liquid soap and use it for shaving legs and under arms. Helps razor glide and leaves skin feeling smooth.

Pour a little into your Foot Saver to help moisturize your feet while you relax them.

It removes chewing gum from hair and skin.

SSS Original Bath Oil works GREAT on Head Lice. Saturate head and let it set for 15 minutes. Then rinse under an outdoor faucet. Shampoo hair a couple of times to get the oil out, but the lice should be gone and stay gone! Sometimes, using bath oil, like Avon’s Skin So Soft, will work to loosen the glue which holds the nits to the hair. There is a product called Neon Nits, which when sprayed on the hair, will highlight the nits so you can see them to then snip them out with a small scissors.

Helps skin retain its elasticity.

After washing and drying hair…. Use about the size of a dime of SSS and rub it in your hair. It goes straight in and leaves hair as shiny as the ads on TV, not greasy at all, just soft and shiny.

Maggots too!! You squirt SSS in can and lid, then later flushed with soapy water, you shouldn’t have any bugs in cans rest of summer!!! It is a great furniture polish!

Put it in one of those bottles that you attach to your backyard hose and then spray down the back yard! Will cut down on ants, mosquitoes and other creepy crawlies.

Spray it on rose bushes to keep the deer from eating them, (used at the cemeteries on the flowers for the same reason).

Spray on orchids, other flowers, tomatoes and other plants for moisture and to keep bugs away. Mix one part SSS and 2 parts water and spray on. Adding vinegar works fine too. Spray plants about every 2 or 3 days..

Pet Use:

It’s a great insect repellent for your pet. (as recommended in “Outdoor Life” and “Field and Stream”)

Mix 5 parts water, 1 part SSS and mist on animals. Brushing it in makes their coats gleam and keeps insects off (Great for Show animals).

Rub on your hands before and after working with your pets and farm animals. It will remove the strong smells.

Black Fly Spray For Dogs: Use as a spray or a dip. 1 cup SSS, 1/2 cup liquid detergent and 3 gallons of water.

For dog’s dry skin mix 1 tablespoon of SSS per gallon of water and use as an after bath rinse. Or spritz your pet’s coat once per week.

If your dog should get tar or asphalt on the pads of their feet rub on SSS and then wipe off.

Flea Bath: Use a flea and tick shampoo. Rinse so no soap residue is left. Follow with final rinse of 2 gallons of water mixed with flea dip and 1 capful of SSS. The SSS helps replace the oils lost in bathing and has the added benefit of repelling insects.

Flea Repellent: Avon’s Skin So Soft Bath Oil. 1-1/2 ounces per gallon of water; used as a sponge-on dip (or as a spritz) has been tested and proven to have significant, but not complete, flea-repellent activity for a 6-day period. It should help those dry coats, too.

Barns. Use of an inexpensive fly control spray or a diluted mix of Avon Skin- So-Soft in water can be sprayed on barn walls and floor to discourage insects from hanging around or to eliminate them before putting in the new bedding. As time permits, and if you can keep your goats out of the barn for a few hours – let the barn stand and air out before re-filling with bedding.

A natural way to help cats with flea problems and flea allergies is to rub Skin So Soft into the skin. Fleas don’t like it! The SSS plus is safe as long as it is the one without sunscreen.

SSS can be used as a hoof polish. Put’s a nice shine to the hoof without drying it. The farrier’s wife will appreciate this one!

SSS can be used on pet accessories such as collars to shine them up.

Uses for Horses:

Horses with dry skin: Bathe like normal and then put a capful of SSS in a 5 gallon bucket of warm water and sponge this all over. Their hair coat dries silky soft and stops itching.

The bug guard towelettes we had last summer work great on the horse’s ears and around their eyes.

When banding (braiding) their manes use the Techniques Oil Sheen. It seems to help hold the braids a lot better and they don’t try to rub them out.

The dry end serum works great in their tails as a detangler. The products are a heck of a lot cheaper than actual horse products.

Automobile Uses:

It removes tar spots from the car without damage to the paint.

Use it to clean vinyl dashboards, seats, and tops. It not only cleans, but keeps it soft and helps to prevent any cracking. Cleans nicely and removes smoke odors left by cigarette smokers.

After washing your car, use it as a tire dressing to keep them looking like new.

Put some on a small washcloth and leave in the car to help keep the air fresh and clean.

It gently cleans heavy grease and oil from skin and non-porous surfaces (great for Mechanic’s Hands).

It removes tree sap.

Prior to traveling…rub SSS on headlights and grill. It makes insects and bugs easier to remove.
